It is next to impossible to watch a video without audio. Let alone watching a show or a movie. It just doesn’t make sense. But an error on the Hulu app is stopping viewers from being able to listen to the sound or audio for the content available on the app. If the same problem has been bothering you, read the rest of this article carefully. You’ll find the information listed very useful!
Fixes for Hulu sound or audio not working:
Play a different video:
This step will let you know if the problem exists with just one video content on Hulu. If you find out that the problem affects all the shows and movies on Hulu, you can skip to the next step. But if the audio is available for other videos, restart your device. A quick restart should be enough to fix this problem which is most probably a temporary glitch.
Recheck the Audio settings:
Now, if you are reading this point, it is safe to say that the previous troubleshooting step did not work for you. In that case, you might want to check the audio settings for all the devices connected to the setting. If you have external speakers connected, check if their volume is turned down. Turn up the volume and also check if you have accidentally pressed the mute button for your streaming device. Muting the device will obviously stop the audio or sound on Hulu.
Check the cables for visible damage:
Check the cables that are connected to your external audio devices. This is for the users who have wired devices connected to their systems. If you have wireless speakers for audio, reconnect them to check if that can fix the audio or sound issues on Hulu.
Disconnect external speakers:
Temporarily disconnect your external speakers to check if the streaming device on its own can play the audio. If the videos on Hulu are audible without the external audio device contact the manufacturer for that device to get it fixed.
Try some basic troubleshooting methods:
Try cleaning the cache files for the Hulu app on your streaming device. If clearing the cache files does not fix the sound or audio issue, reinstall the app from scratch. Uninstall Hulu, restart your device, and then install it again. Also, check if the firmware for your streaming device can be updated. If there is an update available, install it. Apart from the steps mentioned above, these few troubleshooting steps are your best shot at fixing the sound or audio on Hulu.
